Naturally, this White Fox Temple can't come up with any decent fruits, only common ones like apples and pears.
Bai Chuwei estimated that this was more than 5,000 years ago, and these fruits were all wild, unlike the fruits of later generations, which would be very sweet after artificial cultivation.
She tried to take a bite, and the apple froze a little bit.
Bai Chuwei sighed, these are all bad days, it would be so cold at night, if it was sleeping on the street, it would really freeze to death.
In the bottom of my heart, I scolded the spicy chicken system again for being a dog. A pair of water eyes looked in the hall. There were two ever-bright candles burning on the hall, and her face gradually showed a smile.
She took the apples and baked them on the candle light. After they softened a little, she found two clean wooden sticks, skewered the apples, and placed them on the two candle lights to continue baking.
Bai Chuwei was a little drowsy, squinting at the two flames that fluttered, yawning and saying to herself, "How long does it take to bake?"
I don't know if it was because she was drowsy, so she was confused or what. Bai Chuwei always felt that the candlelight in front of her was much brighter than before, as if the flames suddenly burned several times brighter.
After almost roasting the apple, she took a bite. The soft flesh had a sweet and sour taste. Of course, it was not as delicious as the apples of later generations, but even the most unpalatable things could be delicious when people were hungry.
The skirt on her leg was pulled from behind, Bai Chuwei was startled and turned her head, first thinking that those people found her to steal the offering fruit, but when she turned her head, she saw that it was a snow-white fox with its paws pulling Her dress, looking at the other apple in her hand, seemed to want to eat it too.
Bai Chuwei had a doubt in her heart, why did a fox who was not afraid of strangers suddenly appeared? Is it because this is the White Fox Temple, so these foxes are not afraid
She thought that she had slipped her tongue in the statue and said that she would only eat one fruit of the white fox god. other people."
After eating a fruit, I am not so hungry.
The fox eyes were like a pair of eyes. Hearing her words seemed to be laughing. He lowered his head and looked at the roasted apple with interest.
Afterwards, Bai Chuwei hid the lottery and walked around tiptoically in the hall to find a warm place, but found that the hall was so large that there were no curtains for heating.
So cold.
This broken place, hateful system.
After searching for a long time, she couldn't find a place to stay, her lips were white with cold, her body trembled involuntarily, and in the blurred vision, she vaguely saw a fluffy blanket as white as snow.
Bai Chuwei rushed over without saying a word, grabbed one of the nine big white tails, and a warm warmth rushed towards her, Bai Chuwei breathed a sigh of relief, so warm.
She looked at this thing, and met the eyes of those foxes that can charm thousands of people for a moment. Bai Chuwei was stunned for a moment, and said, "Are you the fox that ate my fruit just now? How did you become so big?"
If you can cultivate immortals here, it is estimated that this fox is a Taoist.
Before waiting for the fox to say anything, Bai Chuwei said again: "I also gave you one of the fruits just now. Don't people in immortality pay attention to cause and effect? Since you owe me a favor, then you have to pay me back and lend me a night."
"Don't bite me, I don't have much meat all over my body, not enough for you."
A pair of eyes and a pair of fox eyes looked at each other like that, and she didn't take her eyes away. A hint of surprise flashed in the white fox's eyes, and then he hummed again, and simply turned his head and lay down bored.
The deal was concluded, Bai Chuwei used her tail as a quilt cover, as if she suddenly walked into a warm air-conditioned room, which was extremely comfortable.
She has good grades in school. She is the first in the grade every time she takes the exam, but she doesn't stop reading. She likes to read online novels and has read a lot of immortal novels. In those books, it is said that generally this is a spiritual pet.
I don't know if she can get a spiritual pet that has a bond with her.
This time, she slept soundly, Bai Chuwei was awakened by the heat, the sun rose outside, and the sweat was falling like rain. She woke up and looked around, and the fox was no longer there.
She has a good hearing, and when she heard movement outside, she quickly got up and slipped out to find Ah Tu.
The child also woke up, relieved to see her coming back and said, "Where did Sister Bai go just now? I can't see you when I get up."
Bai Chuwei looked calm: "Go outside to wash and use the toilet."
A Tu hurriedly hid the straw and planned to continue using it tonight, and said: "Sister Bai, I'm going to participate in the king's moat digging project later. Each person can share a small bag of grain. Will you go? Go late. It's gone."
More than 5,000 years ago, there was no currency in the traditional sense, and there was no money. They usually barter or pay for precious metals such as copper, silver and gold.
The idea of these refugees in Atu is very simple, as long as they can eat food and not starve to death.
Bai Chuwei didn't answer directly, her brain started to run at a high speed.
The fact that the spicy chicken system brought her here has become an irreversible fact. People always have to live, and since they have come, they have to live well.
What can she do? Make your day better
At least there must be a house sheltered from the cold, so that you can eat three meals a day. This is a small goal now.
But how to make money
Bai Chuwei thought for a while and asked, "Ah Tu, how do the rich people here escape the heat during the day? Are they going to store ice at night?"
A Tu nodded and said: "Nobles like to put a basin of water in the garden at night, it will freeze at night and can be used the next morning, but because the weather is too hot, the ice can last until noon at most. No, the nobles will let slaves fan them in the afternoon."
"No cellar for ice cubes?"
Ah Tu was at a loss: "What is a cellar?"
Bai Chuwei smiled when she heard the words, very good that she knew how to make money. The afternoon is the hottest time of the day.
She took Ah Tu's hand: "Do you want to make money with me?"
Ah Tu was a little hesitant. Yesterday, the scolding child snorted and passed by: "If we don't go, it's better that no one will fight us for work. Sooner or later, we will starve to death."
A Tu looked at Bai Chuwei's bright eyes and nodded involuntarily.
Bai Chuwei immediately took A Tu to the outside, and A Tu couldn't help but look in the direction where the army was leaving, and asked, "Sister Bai, are you really going to dig a moat?"
Bai Chuwei said: "You can get a small bag of grain by digging the moat. At most, you can eat half full. I will take you to make a lot of money first. Are there mountains? Go and dig some saltpeter."
The closest to them is the fairy mountain of the white fox god. The white fox god doesn't care about his mountain, even if the commoners go to chop down trees.
Ah Tu followed Bai Chuwei to the mountains, but when she saw this sister Bai was digging stones, she was completely desperate. What's the use of digging rocks
"Come on, we have to try to get it done in the morning."
The two acted decisively and dug a lot of saltpeter to go back. She asked Ah Tu to go outside to bring a pottery basin to collect water, and made ice using the saltpeter ice-making principle known to high school students, braving the cold air.
Ah Tu was so frightened that he sat on the ground and stared at Bai Chuwei in a stunned manner: "Sister Bai, is she also a god?"
Only gods can do this.
Bai Chuwei: "I am science."
Bai Chuwei had already inquired with A Tu about where the noble families in the city lived, and directly knocked on the door with A Tu to sell ice.
Those nobles were horrified. The first time they heard that there was ice in the afternoon, they were already too hot. When they saw the ice, why didn't they buy it
They all took out the food and the metal objects Bai Chuwei asked for, such as... gold.
Ah Tu was stunned, so many...? Bai Chuwei was very satisfied with the gold in her hand, patted A Tu's head and said, "It's getting dark today, let's cook this pot of grain and eat it, and go to buy a house and clothes tomorrow."
After all, making ice with saltpeter is not a long-term solution. As long as those nobles know the way, they can't make money from it. But it doesn't matter, she has a way.
At that moment, Bai Chuwei felt that she had taken the script of going through the ancient times to build infrastructure, and it would be interesting to overthrow their king and become a queen in the future.
When the child named Huzi and the others came back with their tired bodies, they saw Bai Chuwei and Ah Tu cooking a pot of thick millet porridge with some vegetables sprinkled in it, which was very fragrant.
Hu Zi couldn't believe it: "Where did you get the food? Steal... Steal?"
Bai Chuwei ate clean and sneered directly: "Steal it? Go and try to steal it for me."
After walking around the city today, I knew the situation here. The class is really strict. If you steal something, you can be beaten to death, and the aristocratic things are not so easy to steal. If a refugee dares to steal something and gets caught, he will become a slave completely, which most people dare not try.
The tiger looked at what was left in the pot and wanted to rush up to grab it and lick it. He endured it and glared at Bai Chuwei and left.
Ah Tu was very happy. He didn't expect Sister Bai to be so powerful and made so much money on the first day.
Before going to bed, Bai Chuwei also took some cold water in a clay pot and put it in the yard, waiting for it to freeze in the morning to cool herself down.
It was still cold at night, and after everyone fell asleep, she crept into the hall again, and she saw the white fox again.
Anyway, I gave a fruit offering last night, which is a mutual causal relationship, and it would be unreasonable to sleep again today.
Bai Chuwei thought for a while, looked at the lazy white fox and said, "Brother fox, lend me your fur for another night, I should be able to buy a house tomorrow, and then I will give you one to make up for your love today. chicken."
White Fox: "..."
One person and one fox stared at each other like that. Bai Chuwei was shivering coldly, waiting for it to give feedback. The fox's tail suddenly stretched out towards her, and its flexible tail wrapped around her waist and pulled her into the soft back hair. .
Bai Chuwei felt so comfortable that she wanted to roll.
Chicken, she made a note and bought it for supplies tomorrow.
Lying on the soft fox's back fur, she counted tomorrow's schedule with her fingers: "Tomorrow is a bit busy, I have to go to Fox Mountain to dig saltpeter to continue making money in the afternoon, and I have to buy a house for inspection, I don't know if I can make it in time. If it’s too late, I might have to ask for help.” As he spoke, he gradually fell into a dream.
As a result, something interesting happened the next day. When they went to the fox mountain to continue digging for saltpeter, there were countless foxes, some white and some brown, and they almost dug out the fox den.
Bai Chuwei looked a little hesitant and asked Ah Tu: "What's the situation? Are we not allowed to dig saltpeter? Why are there so many foxes?"
Ah Tu was also stunned, leaning against Bai Chuwei, which had never happened before.
While Bai Chuwei was thinking about countermeasures, she saw those foxes helping her dig pits with their claws, and they were helping her find saltpeter.
Bai Chuwei: "!"
what's the situation
A Tu even looked at Bai Chuwei with an almost adoring look, "Sister Bai must be a god, so she can drive the fox of the white fox god."
Bai Chuwei: "..." Well, just treat her as a god reserve.
Originally, I was thinking of asking for help, but with these foxes, it seemed a lot easier, and these foxes from more than 5,000 years ago really understood people's words. Bai Chuwei also asked them to help guard the saltpeter.
Seeing that there were still half-sized foxes inside, Bai Chuwei deeply felt that she was using child labor.
Since it wasn't noon yet, Bai Chuwei guessed that the nobles' ice cubes had not been used up, so she first took Ah Tu to buy a house in the city. Most of these people's houses are actually self-built.
Bai Chuwei didn't want to build it by herself, because it took too long to build it by herself, and it was difficult for them to survive at night, so they bought the second-hand houses that were vacated.
The house is not big, plus the yard is a few hundred square meters, enough for three or four people to live in.
Bai Chuwei took out another small copper nugget and asked two or three refugees to dig a cellar for her. The two or three refugees were very happy and felt lucky.
In the afternoon, she and Ah Tu used saltpeter to make ice again, and sold ice cubes to noble families.
"Pretty girl, which family's young lady are you? Do you have a spouse?" When he was delivering ice cubes to the last family, he was stopped by the owner of that family and stared straight at her.
Ah Tu was so anxious that he almost jumped up, and just after saying a word, the slave beside him glared: "Your Excellency is here, you don't have the right to speak as a refugee."
Bai Chuwei sneered: "Isn't one of your slaves also interrupting?"
Bai Chuwei was a little impatient, and didn't bother to talk to these nobles: "Preparatory sacrifice at the White Fox Temple."
She had inquired that the sacrifices here were not allowed to marry and have children, and she didn't have those strange beliefs, so she just talked nonsense.
The fat-headed and big-eared man was very disappointed when he heard the words, but he didn't quite understand what "preparing sacrifices" meant.
After Bai Chuwei took the money, she left with A Tu, and she didn't need to go back to the White Fox Temple tonight.
Bai Chuwei looked at the sky, it was already evening, thinking about the white fox, and thinking that so many foxes helped her today, she probably knew something in her heart, so she simply went to buy six chickens, one of which was left, and the other five Bring them all back to the White Fox Temple.
The living creature attracted the attention of everyone in the temple, and everyone couldn't help swallowing. Bai Chuwei walked directly into the temple, and Hu Zi shouted from behind, "You can't go in!"
"You can't even enter the food offered to the White Fox God?" Bai Chuwei asked back with a smile.
Refugees are not allowed to enter the main hall unless offering offerings.
Hu Zi was speechless, and all the refugees around were stunned. Are these chickens actually dedicated to the white fox god? Where do they get their chickens from? Is it from hunting
Bai Chuwei got those chickens in, and when the white fox came, she would know to eat, and then she prepared to leave with A Tu in the eyes of Huzi's resentment.
She suddenly stopped in her footsteps and said with a smile, "Little boy, I will give you the straw from Ah Tu in the future."
After that, the two left.
At night, when the white fox came again, he only saw those few chickens. In his hall, the chickens were flying and the chicken feathers were flying around. When he saw him, the chickens flew even more.
The first priest of the fox clan in the heavens and the world fell into infinite silence: "..."
… Fine.
Bai Chuwei still counts what she says, if she says she will send chickens, it's still five.
